ssconvert returns killed with no output

Question

I am using ssconvert (Gnumeric) to convert large Excel files into separate CSV files. Most files work, however with some of the larger files with additional formatting the process dies abruptly and says 'killed'.

 ssconvert -S '/tmp/inputfile.xlsx' '/tmp/output.csv'

Is there any special handling for larger files that can be used?

Answer 1

If the user or sysadmin did not kill the program the kernel may have. The kernel would only kill a process under exceptional circumstances such as extreme resource starvation.

dmesg | grep -E -i -B100 'killed process'
